THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO EDGES AND CORNERS. I CAN ALSO SEE A FEW TINY INDENTED MARKS HERE AND THERE. SMALL AREA OF DAMAGE ON THE FRONT WHERE A PRICE STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL STILL STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS JUST ABOUT LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE FOUR SIDES OF BLACK VINYL ARE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST AND OCCASIONAL SURFACE INTERFERENCE.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
